Geno Smith is the definition of a system QB. Nothing separates him from the likes of B.J. Symons or Kliff Kingsbury. His big games came against 2 of the worst defenses in all of college football. The only person who benefits from him going #1 overall is Jamarcus Russell who would then cease to be the worst ever #1 pick as at least he came from a Pro-ish style system and had a big time arm.

Really? Albert should be playing Guard? He's a top 10 LT in the NFL. He allowed one sack all year. Yeah, you're right, we should move him to G and replace a 2nd (Jeff Allen) or 3rd (Jon Asamoah) round pick for absolutely zero reason.

Please apply to be the GM of the Chiefs asap. Please.

The Chiefs gave up 40 sacks this year. Your right, there o-line is stellar.

The Chiefs offensive line has been good this year. The high sack numbers have more to do with how awful the quarterback play has been than it does the offensive line's play. The weak links on their line, from what I could tell, were left guard and center.

Yeah, and that is because our starting C was lost for the year and we had to move our LG to C (Ryan Lilja) and then plug in a rookie into LG (Jeff Allen). Allen struggled a bit early on, but started to play better as the year went on.

Maybe you can tell us how you really feel about the guy?

I think it's funny that you mention 2 big games. Like he's only had 2 big games this season. Which 2 are you picking?

Gets in a rhythm and looks like a Top 10 pick for a while and then before you know it he's throwing off his back foot and into double-coverage. I will say his teammates aren't helping him out much either with drops and fumbles. Glennon is easy to fall in love with based on the physical tools and measurables but there is a huge "Buyer Beware" factor there in my opinion.

FUnny how two people can look at a guy and have opposite opinions. I think those are 3 areas in question. WOuld like to see him tuck it and run occasionally too.

The only area where I question Smith is his 'decision making'. IMO, he holds on to the ball way too long and looks for the perfect pass. I don't know how correctable it is but if he can be coached to release the ball quicker, he has a solid chance to be a NFL franchise QB. He has everything else you look for in a QB.

The guy throws lasers with pinpoint accuracy. His real knock is the fact that people say he is a system QB.

He isn't a system QB, a system QB is a guy who has a noodle for an arm but produces huge stats despite it because he's in a system that tries to hide that fact. Smith has a pro arm and a prospect with a pro arm can move to the pros if he has enough other intangibles no matter what system he plays in at college.
